Common symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, increased hunger, tiredness, unexplained weight loss, blurred vision and recurrent infections. Some people with diabetes may have no symptoms at all.
Prediabetes means blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not yet in the diabetes range. Weight management, regular physical activity, dietary changes and appropriate medical care can significantly reduce the risk of progressing to diabetes.
HbA1c gives an estimate of your average blood glucose over the previous 2–3 months. How frequently it should be checked depends on your diabetes control and treatment plan.
CGM uses a small sensor to continuously measure glucose levels. It can help identify glucose spikes, low sugars and the effects of food, exercise, sleep and medications.
No. Treatment depends on the type of diabetes, duration, glucose levels and other health factors. Many people with type 2 diabetes can be managed without insulin.
Yes. Diabetes can damage the small blood vessels of the retina, known as diabetic retinopathy. Regular fundus examination is an important part of diabetes care.
Diabetic retinal changes may develop before noticeable changes in vision. Screening can help detect these changes early and allow timely ophthalmology referral when required.
Yes. Long-standing or poorly controlled diabetes can affect multiple organs. Regular monitoring of kidney function, eyes, feet, blood pressure and cardiovascular risk is important.
Thyroid & Hormonal Health
Fatigue, weight gain, constipation, dry skin, hair loss, feeling unusually cold and menstrual changes are common symptoms.
Weight loss, palpitations, sweating, tremors, anxiety, heat intolerance and increased bowel movements can occur with hyperthyroidism.
Yes, particularly hypothyroidism. However, weight gain is often multifactorial, so thyroid testing should be interpreted along with other clinical factors.
Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common hormonal and metabolic condition that may cause irregular periods, acne, excess facial hair, weight gain and difficulty conceiving.
Evaluation may be helpful if a child is significantly shorter than peers, has slowed growth, or develops puberty unusually early or late.
Weight Management
Yes. Obesity is a chronic, complex condition influenced by genetics, hormones, metabolism, lifestyle and environmental factors.
BCA estimates parameters such as body fat, muscle mass and body composition. It can provide more useful information than body weight alone when monitoring progress.
No. Medical weight-management treatment should be individualized after assessing BMI, associated medical conditions, medications and contraindications.
Weight can be influenced by calorie intake, activity, sleep, medications, hormonal conditions, muscle mass and metabolic adaptation. A structured assessment can help identify contributing factors.
Pulmonary Medicine
Wheezing, coughing, chest tightness and shortness of breath are common symptoms. Symptoms may worsen at night, during exercise or after exposure to allergens.
Asthma is usually a chronic condition, but it can often be controlled very effectively with appropriate treatment and avoidance of triggers.
PFT measures how well your lungs are working. It is commonly used to evaluate conditions such as asthma and COPD and to monitor response to treatment.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease causes persistent airflow limitation. Smoking is a major risk factor, although other environmental and occupational exposures can also contribute.
A cough lasting more than a few weeks, recurring frequently, or associated with breathlessness, blood in sputum, fever or unexplained weight loss should be medically evaluated.
Breathlessness can have many causes besides low oxygen levels, including asthma, airway disease, heart conditions, anemia, obesity, deconditioning and other lung disorders.
Allergy & Asthma
Frequent sneezing, runny or blocked nose, itchy or watery eyes, recurrent wheezing, hives or symptoms consistently triggered by particular exposures may suggest an allergy.
Allergy testing helps identify sensitization to specific allergens when clinically appropriate. Results should always be interpreted together with symptoms and medical history.
Yes. House-dust mites and other airborne allergens can trigger asthma symptoms in susceptible individuals.
Changes in pollen, dust, air pollution, weather and respiratory infections can contribute to seasonal worsening of asthma.
No. Asthma inhalers are not addictive. They deliver medication directly to the airways and are an important part of asthma treatment when prescribed appropriately.
Very. Incorrect technique can substantially reduce the amount of medicine reaching the lungs. Patients should have their inhaler technique checked periodically.
Sleep Medicine
Loud snoring, pauses in breathing during sleep, choking or gasping at night, morning headaches and excessive daytime sleepiness can be warning signs.
No. Occasional snoring may be harmless, but loud persistent snoring—particularly with witnessed breathing pauses or daytime sleepiness—may require evaluation.
Obesity is an important risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea, although people who are not overweight can also develop it.
Yes. Untreated obstructive sleep apnea is associated with metabolic and cardiovascular problems, including hypertension and impaired glucose regulation.
CPAP provides positive airway pressure through a mask during sleep to help keep the upper airway open in people with obstructive sleep apnea.
Appointments & Clinic Services
Appointments can be booked through the clinic's appointment system or by contacting the clinic directly.
Yes. Please bring previous prescriptions, blood-test reports, imaging, glucose records and other relevant medical documents.
Yes. Laboratory services are available for investigations advised as part of your clinical care.
These services are available as part of Hormowell's diagnostic and monitoring services. The appropriate test can be advised according to your clinical requirement.
